+# Modernizing Old Photos Using Multiple References via Photorealistic Style Transfer
+
+We present a Multi-Reference-based Old Photo Modernization (**MROPM**) framework that can modernize old photos using multiple references by performing stylization and enhancement in a unified manner. MROPM initially stylizes old photos using multiple references through photorealistic style transfer. Then, it further enhances the results to produce modern-looking images. Compared to the previous state-of-the-art (SOTA), the proposed method can perform modernization on real old photos even without using old photos during training. It depends on the selection of references, which need to have similar semantics to the old photo.

+## Model Description
+Our framework named as Multi-Reference-based Old Photo Modernization (MROPM) consists of two key ideas: 1) MROPM-Net to modernize old color photos by changing their styles and enhancing them to look modern and 2) synthetic data generation scheme to train the network in a self-supervised manner
